Have you ever worked with a leader who is responsible for championing change and been disappointed and frustrated? Have you ever worked with a leader that struggled with articulating their vision of the change? Have you ever worked with a leader that would stop the change initiative or slow it down when they began to experience resistance? Lastly, have you ever had a change champion say or do something that potentially created additional resistance in the organization?

If you can answer yes to any of the questions above, this session is a must for you attend. Through interactive discussion, storytelling, and the use of powerful questioning techniques, participants will walk away from the session with tools that help them align leaders with the change initiative in a powerful and enduring way. To be effective sponsors, leaders must be able to connect with the change initiative on both a mental and emotional level. Effective change coaching helps the leader connect the change to their personal vision, values, and communication styles.
